well i stumbled upon a gsl-se in the j-yard today.. and i seem to have an FC that needs a tranny... the tranny in the FB is perfect.. will the mounts/bolt patern fit into an FC body?.. i' assume the bolt pattern is the same seeing how it is the same motor... but will the tranny mounts (crossmember.. whatever) be in the same spot?/

thanks

 

it'll fit... you might have to fab a mount or something. You also have to swap over the shift rod assembly from a FC if you want to put it in a FC.

 

There is no shift rods

 

hmm
ok.. good deal... thats cool.. thanks

looks like i'm going to the j-yard

 

.. i almost forgot.. i plan on using a driveshaft from an FC.. will it be to long/short?? anyone know?? thanks a lot

 

should fit fine, driveshaft and all.... except maybe the tranny mounts. But thats not a big problem to make

 

How do you knwo a FC drive shaft wil fit on a first gen with no moding?

The First gen wheel base is shorter,and the TII drive shaft is shorter then a n/a

 

n.. i think you misunderstood... i am talking about putting a tranny from an FB (Gsl-SE) into an FC and i will be using a stock Fc driveshaft

 

ahhhh! I used the incorrect term. Its the shifter housing and the rod attached to it... ya know the stuff that we have to take off of a FB tranny to fit a TII in our cars?

 

GSL SE tranny has diffrent gears then a FC N/A But if yoru gonando anything ..just get a TII tranny

Tailshaft?

 

Change the tailshaft over and put the 2nd gen tranny mount on it and it will fit in fine.

I did the reverse to put a 88 tranny in my GSL-SE

 

they use the same tranny mounts?

 

arent those somewhat difficult to come by though??

and expensive?? afterall.. i am POOR.. and only 17 so i have to work with the funds my part time job allows
